DiPrimio fi

For Love of Zombies is one of my favorite zombie fan films EVER. It appeals to the zombie nerd in all of us. It's clever, hilarious, well-written, and unique. I was stoked that screenwriter Ron DiPrimio was able to talk zombies, Romero, and Evans City Cemetery with us. WLF/ZZN: Hey, thanks for taking the time to answer some of our questions. Your new movie is titled For Love of Zombies. I'm intrigued. Tell us about it. It's the story of two zombie loving geeks who drag their less than enthusiastic girlfriends to the world famous Evans City Cemetery for a … [Read more...]

Livin' with Steve. Zombie-based humor is huge these days, which is to say, there's a lot of it. I enjoy a good Zomcom so long as I get a solid script, some genuine laughs, an enthusiastic cast, and some compelling scenes of undead carnage. The Australian web series Livin' with Steve provides just that. Livin' with Steve is seven yukworthy episodes of animated sitcom chomping. The premise is simple: Buddies Nate (a living human) and Steve (not so much) hang out, have fun, and try to make the rent before they get booted out of their pad. Nate doesn't seem to … [Read more...]

Fans of Zombie Zone News are probably aware of my deep affection for Night of the Living Dead. It's the cornerstone of all things cannibalistic zombie—and EVERY zombie fan is obligated to sit down and watch it in its entirety. For serious. Don't make me hunt you down. For your watching convenience, I've attached a link to the film that you may view legally (and repeatedly). Caution **this interview contains spoilers of Night of the Living Dead** I was over-the-moon happy that Judith O'Dea was kind enough to answer a few Q's for us. Ms. O'Dea portrays … [Read more...]

Army of Dorkness: Elliott Serrano Gives ZZN the Scoop About the New AOD Comic

AOD-Elliott Serrano thumb

You think you know the whole story, right? The “Evil Dead” in question are just a bunch of pesky Candarian Demons with a thing for the Three Stooges, Ash is our bumbling savior, and catch phrases are in abundance... Think again. In the new Army of Darkness comic from Dynamite Entertainment, we are re-introduced to this world. Ashley K. Williams (no, that’s not a mis-typed initial) doesn’t have the legendary boomstick (in more ways than one). The demons are less from the woods than…elsewhere. And this version’s hero is more calculating than slapstick. But … [Read more...]

ZZN readers know how much I love to bring you interviews with new authors chomping at the bit to give you their take on zombism. With that in mind, it gives me great pleasure to introduce Jason McKinney, and his debut zombie opus, Memoirs of the Walking Dead. WLF/ZZN: Hi man. I understand that Memoirs of the Walking Dead is your first published novel. Tell us why you wanted to begin your writing career exposing the undead mindset? Hey, Wednesday. Thanks for the opportunity to be interviewed by you on Zombie Zone News. I’ve loved zombies since I was kid. … [Read more...]

If you're not watching a lot of foreign horror, you're really missing out. There's the French and their love of literal bloodbaths, the exquisite torture found in so many Asian horror classics, and good ol' zombie chomping action a'la the Spanish REC, and Denmark's Opstandelsen. The United States have, by no means, cornered the horror market. With that in mind, I was stoked to check out the new trailer for the new Russian film, Meteletsa (Translation: Winter of the Dead). The film's director, Nikolai Pigarev, was kind enough to sit down and answer a few of my … [Read more...]

Z Magazine: The Best Thing Since Sliced Brains?

It’s tough for a zombie in Z Magazine’s reality. Many aren't the dumb, drooling beasts that the stereotype would suggest - they came out of the shadows half a century ago, and many have integrated into society. But the majority of the living and undead will never be BFFs…so how the hell does it all work? Brilliantly. Z Magazine’s tagline is: “The first magazine written by zombies for zombies”, and it takes that motto very seriously. The entire mag is written from an undead point of view, with a strict set of rules and guidelines that writers follow … [Read more...]

If you're not familiar with American writer Stefan Petrucha, you should be. He's taking zombies in some groovy new directions--an innovator, pure and simple. And he knows his stuff. Petrucha writes adult and YA fiction on a variety of supernatural and speculative topics. And of course, he wrote the TimeTripper series. He has a plethora of books and graphic novels under his belt. I recently had the pleasure of reading Dead Mann Walking, A Hessius Mann Novel for review here at ZZN. In case you missed it, I liked it a lot. Happily, Stefan Petrucha was kind enough to … [Read more...]

Music is an indispensible part of our culture. We've all seen those hapless fools that could be listening for danger but are instead bopping their head in tune with the iPod/Walkman/Zune (who the hell has a Zune?) they just couldn't put down. Even after the zombies make their undead appearance, we're gonna need something to listen to. That's where guys like Collin J Rae come in. Already a respected photographer and musician, he has recently compiled Music for the Zombie Apocalypse. If an apocalypse can't have a killer soundtrack, then maybe I'm missing the whole point … [Read more...]

Totally FUBAR: An Interview With Comic Mastermind Jeff McComsey

FUBAR II cover (thumb)

Those of us with a love for zombie lore have come across the acronym FUBAR on multiple occasions…and know how appropriate it is when dealing with a zompocalyptic scenario. (For those of you NOT in the know and coming up with options like Funky Undead Bastards Are Rising – just Google it already). To have the living dead popping up in the middle of World War II – well, that’s a FUBAR situation if I’ve ever heard of one! And that’s just what Jeff McComsey had in mind when he assembled a roster of some of the finest indie comic talent in the business for … [Read more...]
